ScubaCinci Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Time for a PC refresh... I started out just getting a new CPU, mobo, and RAM but got carries away and bought a new PSU (with white sleeved cables ) - Corsair Carbide 540 Air case shown separately as it arrived this am but I haven't opened it and because I'm out of my fucking mind I ordered a Galax 1080 GTX HOF simply because it's white (it's also faster than my Asus card) and rounds out the silver/white theme. This thing is going to look sick. More pics when it's built. Not shown is the NZXT Kraken x62 h20 cooler which arrives today and the Samsung 960 EVO m.2 SSD which should be (hopefully) shipping by tomorrow. I'll carry over my SSD's, and HDD'd along with the Blu-ray dive and card reader bay. So, I'll prolly have some nice parts for sale soon - I'll have to look up the exact part #'s...4770k processor, mobo, Corsair H100i GTX cooler, Corsair (4x4) 16GB DDR3 RAM, Asus STRIX 1080GTX, Corsair 600C case, Corsair HX1000w PSU, etc. Actually, the whole system is pretty much staying intact except for the SSDs, card reader and Blu-ray drive.

RidersDiscount Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Some serious geeking out going on in here. I have made a few of my own but has been about 10-15 years...looks like things have changed slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Yeah...I hadn't really planned up upgrading but then I got to talking to a buddy at work who recently re-did his system and I got caught up in it. I hadn't really upgraded (other than the GPU) in several years. It used to be an annual thing for me but I don't use my desktop as much anymore except for gaming and power hungry applications like video/photo editing. I just decided to make this a bling build as well...had never really done that. Not sure why I am because no one ever sees the damn thing but me...SMH Edited December 12, 2016 by ScubaCinci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
